TO LIVE AND TO SURVIVE ARE BOTH THE ART OF NATURE.
To do or not to do.
Already done or will not be done.
Are not the things.
We are capable to choose.
We can do.
We can change.
We can fight.
But the end.
Will be only what the destiny reveals.
A man always dreams.
Beyond his own cage.
Called as death.
Hi's stepping forward.
Enduring all the suffering and pain.
Till the time ends.
And last drop found.
Until then, the journey must continue...

Alhamdulillah, eventhough the time was short, we had finished our 2nd course of Keris at Bachok. I was informed by one of my Master, Cikgu Nasir about the course, where Pak Ngah Izahar was invited to supervise and to teach the way of traditional Keris techniques.

I was grateful to be invited as the participant and to learn in the different way under Pak Ngah Izahar. And I do hope to always have the chance of learning with the old master. Many of the Gayong Masters become old and cannot teach anymore. Everytime seeing an old master taught the young students, my heart will say for how long this will last? And what will happen then? Where am I going to learn the precious art?

Those questions haunt me everyday. And it is our duty to go and seek the knowledge. As long as I could manage my family, my work and my time, insyaAllah, I'll be at the Gelanggang to seek more from you oh Masters!!! ;)

Selamat Datang, Ahlan Wa Sahlan, Bonjour, Welcome and Merhaba!

Learning Silat Seni Gayong from Masters and Senior Gurulatihs all around Malaysia, I am welcoming you to this modest blog of Narapatinantaboga™, as another humble effort of introducing this Malay martial art to the public from me as the Chief Gurulatih (Directeur Technique) of Association Francaise Silat Seni Gayong (A.F.S.S.G), FRANCE. It is important for all Anak Gayong all over the world to be well informed about what's happening inside the country and knowing the Gayong Masters who used to be the loyal disciples of the late Mahaguru Dato' Meor Abdul Rahman Bin Daeng Uda Mat Hashim. He was the grandson of Syed Zainal Abidin Al-Attas and the great grandson of Tengku Daeng Kuning (Panglima Hitam) from royal lineage of Bugis King Daeng Merewah.

I start teaching Silat Seni Gayong in France since 2003 and our official Gelanggang was opened in 2005 until now after having the Ijazah (permission) of opening this school in France and Ireland. I am recently a lecturer at Faculty of Manufacturing Engineering, Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP), PEKAN, PAHANG and teach Silat Seni Gayong to UMP students since 2011 under the name of Gelanggang Naga Rantau.

Find us at Paris,Lille, Montpellier, Toulouse, or UMP (my international training center @ Malaysia) and join us at:

This blog is dedicated to the Silat Seni Gayong issues, my experience and encounters with Gayong, other Pencak Silat and Martial Arts Masters, and also my personal life, friends, hobbies, and travel.

I am also once the disciple and member of few Seni Silat like Lintau, Helang Putih, Cekak, Silat Jatuh , 7 Permainan Ayah Ku (Malaysia) and Pencak Silat like Tapak Naga, Cimande, Harimau, Prana Sakti (Indonesia) and also the other martial art like Muay Thai, Karate Okinawa, Savate, Tae Kwon Do, Jujitsu, Kapap, Aikido and Capoeira. I am still learning and always looking for a new martial art fraternity for the love of God.
